MTC got swept up into the excitement over the Warriors' championship parade and rally in Oakland today in more ways than one. For starters, our offices at the Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter are situated at the Lake Merritt BART station, which was a key gateway for the hordes of “Dub Nation” fans heading for the rally at the Kaiser Convention Center at the western edge of Lake Merritt. And three of our commissioners participated in the celebration — Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who represents the city of Oakland on MTC; San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, who represents his city on the Commission; and Alameda County Board of Supervisors President Scott Haggerty, who also sits on MTC.
